Error Message - Photosmart 7520

I just purchased the HP Photosmart 7520 and everything is working OK except a couple times a day the panel  flashes stating there is a printer error and to turn the printer off and then back on. Then it's OK again till it does it again. What is causing this? Otherwise the printer works great.

The partial reset is usually pretty good, but if that doesn't work, I would go for a semi-full reset. That's usually the next step. Let me know if the partial reset continues to work for you or if you run into any other issues.

  • Error Message on 7520 All In One Set up on MAC

    I have tried several times to install the drivers for the HP 7520 on my MAC (10.9.5 Mavericks).  Each time I get this error message;
    The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.
    The printer will still print fine, but it will not capture images when scanning or copying.  Does anyone have suggestions for a fix?  

    Hi @angcavallaro 
    The path /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext points to an issue with the operating system.
    Kext files are essentially drivers for Mac OS X. "Kext" stands for Kernel Extension; kext files "extend" Mac OS X's kernel, the core part of the operating system, by providing additional code to be loaded when your computer boots..... Technically, kexts aren't individual files. In fact, .kext "files" are essentially packaged like .zip files. - Source
    I suggest repairing your disk permissions using the following steps;
    On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
    Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
    Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and try scanning again.
    You may even need to uninstall and reinstall the HP Software. Let me know if you need help with this.
    What are permissions?
    Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions —settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
    What does repairing permissions do?
    The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings. - Source
    If repairing the disk permissions does not resolve the issue, you may need to delete the particular .Kext that is causing the error, I suspect doing an Apple update after would reinstall the missing .Kext, BUT, since I work on behalf of HP and not Apple, my area of expertise is not with the Apple operating systems in's and out's. I think, if repairing the disk permissions does not resolve the issue you should either reach out to the Apple Community or call Apple support.

  • Clear cartridge error message, Photosmart c410a

    All troubling shooting steps have been taken but can't get the error message to clear.  Printer won't print with it.

    Hello GMaga,
    I noticed the issue you are having with your Photosmart C410a model showing a cartridge error. I would like you to review all of the steps in the troubleshooting guide below to make sure you have attempted them all. Usually the guide will help clear the error.
    'Incompatible Cartridge' or 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Control Panel
    If the issue persists, you will notice the instructions will state to replace the printhead. If that happens, call HP's Technical Support to see about your replacement options. If the warranty has expired you can also try Soaking the Printhead by Bob_Headrick. Please read the instructions very carefully if you wish to do this step.

  • HP 7520 Photosmart scanning error message: Unable to connect to Web Services

    After many successful efforts in the past, suddenly I cannot scan to email on my HP Photosmart 7520. I have tried several of the solutions posted to no avail. I keep getting the error message "Unable to connect to Web Services. Confirm Iternet access and try again." I'm on Mac OS X. Very frustrating; I would appreciate help.

    Hello skagitsusan,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!

  • Hp 7520 gives error message when trying to scan to email. Says not connected to Internet......

    Can anyone help. I can't scan anything! Say not connected to web, but I am!

    Hi Finner6,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are getting a connection error when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 7520 printer.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post that has the steps with screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
    If after setting the manual IP address and DNS servers you are still getting the same error message, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

    Hi @ajbond77,

  • Photosmart 7520 General Error 0x6100004c plus ink carriage won't move

    The printer came up with a General Error code. I followed the suggested page on how to fix it however the ink carriage won't move to the center. I've tried turning it on and off, unplugging the power cord and looking for any obstructions for the carriage but I can't find anything. 
    Anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are getting the General Error 0x6100004c with your HP Photosmart 7520, and the ink carriage will not move. I am happy to help!

  • HP Photosmart 7520 printhead error

    So I bought a HP Photosmart 7520 about 3 or so months ago and about 2 weeks ago I got an error saying that there is a print cartridge error. I could get out of it and print fine but it progressively got worse until whenever I turn the printer on it says that there is a printhead error and it wont budge from there. It will connects to the wifi network because the blue light turns solid and makes the noise, but I cant seem to get rid to the error message. HELP! I contacted HP and they said that there was no printer problem and rather that it was  a problem with my computer and I had to get it fixed. Now getting it fixed will cost me more than it will take me to buy a new printer. I mean I've bought an older photosmart and that didn't break due to software glitching butbecause it fell of my desk. TO fix it I was considering reinstalling windows and going through the trouble of installing everything again or should I change my SSID for my wireless network. Will that do me any good? I really need help and I dont want to have to buy a new printer, I'vehad decent luck with HP products but after 2 months, its pretty sad. I really might switch over to cannon, but I did like the nifty things this printer could do.

    Depending on how much money you intend to spend, here is a link on how to replace the printhead -- Check the HP Part Store for Pricing -- I mean if I had changed all the ink cartridges and running the printhead cleaning utility in the printer's menu under Tools didn't help, I would have already convinced myself I was going to buy another printer if I messed this up by trying to fix it versus buying a new printhead, but that's just me. --Here's a page with some suggestions on how to fix it manually-- Just make sure you have the right kind of printhead to try it with. I had a heck of a time fixing my printhead but it worked.  First I tried the method suggested in which you soak it in warm water and leave it sitting over night but 2 days later it was still wet and dripping ink everywhere. So I did exactly what they said not to do and used rubbing alcohol on the tips of cotton swabs (Q-tips) to dry out the printheads then I put the ink in it and ink went everywhere so I got mad and set the printhead outside to dry and it finally did and it worked.  But this took me hours and I was frustrated and already said either I fix it or buy a new one becuase the price of a printhead for my printer was the same as a cheap one at the store. Sorry for the delayed response.  Have a great day!

  • Getting error message on B209a-m photosmart printer

    I am using this printer on a windows 8 64 bit notebook, it was printing okay before but now after working with it for almost a week, installing, uninstalling, cleaning the print heads, trying to connect both wireless and with USB cable it will not print.
    Already used up 2 sets of XL size ink cartridges and on third set, black is grey and unreadable, will scan and print Windows printer Test page and home page but not from notepad or word.
    Now I am getting an error message 0x61011bef, some codes  close to this mean a problem with the ink cartridges but my code ends with bef.
    On my new windows notebook HP support Assistant has stopped working, HP product detection cannot be found, in device manager , USB-iFxHCI USB Host Controler has a caution mark on it, in control panel my notebook icon has a caution mark through it and it says needs trouble shooting and acts like it is a printer. My notebook is G7-2373CA pavilion notebook.
    Can anyone tell me what this code means, I have purchased a new 7525e printer but it is still in the box, on the papers in the box it says 7520 model with a fax with phone cable included.If anyone can help I would be gratefull.

    Hi Dylon,
    I can certainly have a look into your printer problems with you, but for the PC issues I would recommend posting those under the notebook or desktop threads for assistance with the PC issues.
    I was just wondering, are you looking for assistance with your Photosmart B209a, or have you trashed it and moved on to the Photosmart 7525?
    Just let me know what I can help with on the printer side and I'd be happy to do so

  • HP Photosmart D110 Series getting error message when connecting to web services

    Hello guys!
    Hope someone can help. We have a HP Photosmart D110 series that is a couple years old. I am trying to get it connected to the web services feature for my wife. When we first got the printer it connected with no problems. When I go and click on enable web services it tells me cannot connect to server. Same error message happens when I try to do a product update. I tried to change manual preferred to 8. 8. 8. 8. and manual alternate to 8. 8. 4. 4. with no luck. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!!!

  • Saving scanned doc error message when using Mac Maverick with HP Photosmart C4795

    When I use HP Scan to scan documents with my HP Photosmart C4795 it scans fine.  The problems comes when I try to save the scanned document. I get one of two things, an error message or black document.  I get an error that states "An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to.  Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.  I know that's the location is not read only because I save documents there all the time from other programs.    When I get the black document, I open the file and its a black page with white lines going across.  
    This started happening when I upgraded to Maverick.  When I had snow leopard I didn't have this problem.  I looked for update drivers and there aren't any available on the HP software & drivers webpage.  HP help! Any suggestions please help.

    Hi,
    That happens due to lack of compatibility of the HP Scan application for your device with Mavericks, it is not intended for the operating system and will cause issues while saving a file.
    Be sure to run Software Update, then scan using Image Capture or Preview as listed below.. those are the scan solutions provided for Mavericks:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03550518&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
    Once you launch Image Capture, I would suggest keeping it on the dock for easier access.
